Such a lovely book of short stories! Each one had a feel good factor and I found myself either stifling a giggle or smiling by the end of them.
I haven’t read anything by any of the authors except for Katie Fforde but this book has definitely made me rethink that. Every single author had me absorbed in their few pages of story within the first couple of lines.
I would recommend this as a short read for anybody who wants to read something that will make them smile. It is also one that can be picked up and put back down easily with them being such short stories.
This book does exactly what it says on the cover… makes you smile!

Heartwarming stories from well known authors - they really are stories to make you smile. The Reading Agency has brought out a fantastic book this year! Granted only a few stories were my favourite, but I think all the authors told fantastic stories in just a few pages. It's also a brilliant way to explore new authors writing styles without committing to 200+ pages!

It didn’t live up to its expectations
Almost all the stories didn’t make me smile. Out of 10 stories I enjoyed just 2 hence I’m not rating this.

Whilst each story was only short they were all good. The first one I felt ended a bit abruptly, but the others all had fairly satisfactory endings! Each story was unique which kept the overall book interesting and unpredictable.
It was a great way to celebrate World Book Night.
